I just connect my iPhone via WiFi to my BlackVue dashcam in the Rivian to watch recorded videos with no fisheye effect and where I can easily read license plates.

^^This. Took my R1T to my local Discount Tire shop for its first rotation & balance; not only did they charge me for it but I had to train their techs on how to service a Rivian (using the pucks I had; the shop didn’t have any). Couple of weeks after the rotation& balance I was back with a...

There’s a Rivian waypoint charger at the Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Oklahoma, 87 miles from me. Mobile tech was at my house a few weeks ago and I mentioned that to him; he said Rivian sponsors that preserve and gave them (or sold at a discount) a couple of R1Ts for use on the...

If you want to leave your R1S unlocked but don’t want the door handles sticking out you can put it in car wash mode, which closes the handles flush to the doors but they remain unlocked. Then you push on the dimple at the end of the door handle to pop it out enough to grab it and open the door.

Notice when he’s griping about the “rust” in his under bed compartment he doesn’t shut the lid completely - the passenger side of the lid doesn’t latch. That’s what allowed water to get in there and rust his hitch. ?

Keep an eye out whenever you pass the EA chargers at the WalMart on W. University just north of the campus and you might see my white R1T taking on electrons there - that’s one of my main stops on my excursions to Texas. That’s also where I ran into a Rivian engineer last summer who was...

So… if they’ll have 10,000 individual charging stations only half will be working, and out of that 5,000 that are operational 70% of those can only output a max 70Kw, that means there will actually be 1,500 high speed stations that are fully operational nationwide. And by then there will be...

No one’s seen Rivian’s implementation of a dashcam system yet. My questions are: 1.) What resolution does it record at? I doubt it’s 4K, which is what my BlackVue is. 2.) What will be its storage capacity? 3.) How will videos look in bright sun; cloudy conditions; nighttime? 4.) Will it record...

I used plug that came with the BlackVue and have it plugged in to the socket underneath the main screen in the middle of the dash. That socket is essentially ignition switched - i.e., it only powers up when the vehicle wakes up and completely shuts off when the truck goes to sleep. It’s been...

Someone who’s on Twitter (I’m not) needs to ask RJ direct whether they’re working on implementing CP/AA or not.

I included y’all, my guy - AA=Android Auto.

Yes - I installed a BlackVue DR750S-2CH in my R1T; didn’t have to remove any trim pieces. To run the cable to the rear cam I just removed the door weatherstripping along the top of both the passenger front & rear doors and tucked the cable under the exposed edge of the headliner. Where it...

I quit caring about Consumer Reports’ opinions or rankings of cars many, many years ago. They’re entitled to their opinion as I am to mine, and they seldom agree.

This is very encouraging! I hope they really do enable CP/AA; that would only greatly enhance already fantastic vehicles. Not to mention allow me to use Waze on a nice big screen. ?

At least there will be food & drink available as I sit and wait on all the ID4 owners who are plugged in to the 350 KW chargers at 85% SOC and waiting for it to go to 100%.

Two years in a row for Rivian - he awarded the R1T the same award last year.

If it’s called getting “ICEd” when a gas-powered vehicle parks in an EV only spot, what do we call it when an EV parks at a gas pump? (Not criticizing this, as I’ve done it myself when there are plenty of other gas pumps available as it prevents door dings.) —-CHARGEd? —-PLUGGED?

Still no dashcam functionality - which we were told over the summer would be “coming in the fall”.

My takeaway from watching that video is if I had a dollar for each time he said “essentially” I’d essentially have enough to buy another Rivian.
